This intensive course develops the skills needed to work with requirements stakeholders to ensure that requirements satisfy various perspectives and that conflicts are negotiated to a position of consensus.

Delegates will learn how to work with stakeholders and others to ensure the requirements are complete, unambiguous, realistic and testable.

This course is structured around a Requirements Engineering framework which utilises a range of techniques for elicitation, analysis, documentation and management of requirements. A detailed case study is used on the course to enable attendees to practise applying the techniques.

Included in this certification is a free 12-month BCS Associate membership. Please click here for terms and conditions.

Pre-Requisites

Delegates will need to spend 60-90 minutes each evening on revision and example examination questions.
